I was sitting in my dorm room on that tuesday watching Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan when suddenly someone burst into my room asking if I had a blank video tape. I shut off the vcr and saw why he wanted the tape. It was like something from a movie, the images that played over and over that day. I was glued to the television for the whole day; in fact I didn't even go to my class that night. When I told the prof. the following week, that I was sorry for missing class, but I couldn't leave the coverage, he said that he didn't hold attendance against anyone that night and that he even dismissed quite a bit early so that everyone could go home and be with their families and reflect on the day. I will never forget that tuesday or the sunday after it when I had to preach about what happened in church.
